Lando Kal (a.k.a. Antaeus Roy), one half of Bay Area electro duo Lazer Sword, follows up Maneuver, his 2011 debut for Hotflush, with two cuts overflowing with the darkness of a long Berlin winter. A major player in both San Francisco and New York’s underground club scenes, Lando’s love of R&B, dark jungle, Detroit techno and classic house is front and center on these two bass heavy productions.

The infectious Rythym Sektion comes on strong, Lando expertly weaving the vocals of the 1991 rave classic hinted at in the title with threatening drums and kinetic percussion. On the flip, Lando’s dynamism is on display, as Inquisition’s syncopated beats swagger along, insistent and knocking, drawing you into its multi-layered paranoid rhythms.

Lando Kal has released on respected labels Numbers, Rush Hour, Sugarcane Recordings, Still Cold, and has remixed the likes of Sepalcure, Hovatron, Salva, Sepalcure and Doc Daneeka. Up ahead, lookout for a single dropping on Leisure System, the notorious Berghain party collective and label.

Since Sepalcure’s debut EP, Love Pressure dropped last summer, the New York based act otherwise known as
Travis Stewart (Machinedrum) and Praveen Sharma (Braille) have made a lasting impression on the electronic
sphere over the last year with unforgettable live performances across the USA and Europe, as well as a
stunning follow-up EP, Fleur. Their unique chemistry as a duo is undeniable and has resulted in a soulful,
emotive, and energetic style that is entirely their own.
On this remix EP, five of the USA’s most exciting dance music producers of late have offered their unique
takes on the original tracks, all bringing their own signature elements into the fore: XI (Orca, Toronto),
FaltyDL (Planet Mu, New York), Jimmy Edgar (!K7, Detroit), Daedelus (Ninja Tune, Los Angeles), and recent
Hotflush signing Lando Kal (Lazer Sword, Berlin via San Francisco).

Hotflush presents the solo debut of Lando Kal, otherwise known as one half of the booty-shaking production-DJ duo Lazer Sword. A recent import to Berlin from San Francisco via New York City, Lando embodies a unique style all his own, which clearly shines through on this record. Soulful, emotive and slightly outside the box, “Further” and “Time Out” move through of elements of UK garage, West Coast bass and Funky, retaining a crucial dancefloor sensibility throughout.
